The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency has warned that the rise in water level of River Benue may increase the likelihood of river flooding in Adamawa, Taraba and Benue states.
Director- General of the agency, Clement Nze, made this know this at an ongoing press conference in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He said water from six out of the eight countries that make up the Niger Basin Authority has arrived Nigeria.
The DG said that the water will empty itself into River Niger, thereby leading to increased flooding in ten states.
